Notice of Final Decision
WA Dept. of Fish and Wildlife SE 2022-5
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that Okanogan County has issued a Shoreline Exemption to Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife to improve the spillway of Milles Lake.
The Department of Ecology (ECY) Dam Safety Program has identified the Milles Lake Dam as needing work to the spillway to prevent impacts to downstream landowners should a 500-year event occur. The overall result will be a much wider spillway capable of allowing flows to safely pass downstream. The purpose of the project is to widen the spillway from the existing 8.3 feet to a proposed 84-feet, in response to ECY Dam Safety concerns that a 500-year event may result in dam damage that would impact downstream landowners.
The project is located on Milles Lake, parcel number 3321024003 Township 33 North, Range 21 E.W.M. in Section 02 near Twisp, WA.
